Oh well...worth a try. There are several Maxwell's in the Prescott area of AZ at the same time as my ancestor--I *want* to assume they are all related--but w/no proof, I can't say for sure. Here are some listings from the census index...anyone want to claim these Maxwell's?? (Sorry I don't have actual census data, just index--w/2 small children, I have been doing most of my research online for now.
